PPLD strives to ensure digital access for all of our users in a variety of ways, such as offering accessibility tools like digital audiobooks, Dragon Naturally Speaking (available at some locations), and large-type keyboards. We also make sure to include image descriptions on our social media posts so that they are accessible for screen reader users. Learn more at ppld.org/accessibility
